...might be possible in this way to keep out all but the first of the classes which the president-emeritus posited in his Report for 1930-31, reprinted else-where in this issue, and make of the Graduate School a large-sized Society of Fellows. Perhaps this is the ideal which the School should approach as a limit, but it is hardly a workable solution today. For lack of a complete endowment, the maintenance of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences requires that the enrollment be kept substantially at its present numbers. Exclusiveness on a grand scale is thus...
...range of his study might be covered and no part of it overtaxed. Though always testing his factual knowledge, it ought also to call for a showing of developed standards, and for some ability to relate the pale facts of study to the realities of life. In short, the ideal Graduate School would merely provide a fertile ground for the development of a man's work, and would not box it or trim it, or force it into any prearranged pattern...
...Scottsboro case limps along toward the retrial granted by Supreme Court decision, conditions seem ideal for an enactment of the bloody drama which so often speeds the hand of Southern justice.

"This leaves us the Revolutionary ideal of the emancipation of mankind from the Capitalist grasp as the only inspiration for a really vital art in the present and future." I protest, as a connoisseur of prophecy. Mr. Philbrick can see into the future no farther than John Doe and I, and anyone who cared to predict...
...boldness of the move, the industry scarcely knew whether to cheer, scoff or suspect. Was the Department of Commerce about to hand out $7,000,000 contracts to favored manufacturers? Was it going to solicit R. F. C. money for production of the Vidal "flivver?" Would it prescribe its ideal plane design for manufacturers to follow? Director Vidal hastened to squelch all such notions. His Department would simply look for customers for a $700 airplane, drop its findings into the industry's lap, let the industry do the rest. He added: "If favorable response [to the poll] does...
